It's true - an Asian American comic doesn't have to adhere to any racial or social propaganda and it's not his or her responsibility to fight for equality or assume the collective voice of his or her race or generation.

But any comic who degrades any race by the abuse of long-standing stereotypes, especially those that are being so actively analyzed and challenged (fetishization of Asian women? Emasculation of Asian men? Asians eating dogs? What? Did she really go there? That's not audacious, that's just completely crude and distasteful, and makes her look completely ignorant and - oh yeah, racist), should not have the privilege of standing on that stage and being heard. There are far too many unheard voices with productive and meaningful things to say for people like her to be wasting airtime with their shallow, unoriginal ideas.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. The same public that has accepted her into their half-baked genre of 'entertainment' is running out to theaters this weekend to see Disaster Movie..
